- The
Brockway "Torpedo" light truck was a popular chassis for
fire engine makers trying to meet the needs and budgets
of small fire departments. American La France built
rigs like this one to provide a quick response
vehicle. It has three chemical tanks with about 150
gallons of water that could be put to immediate use on a
fire. Trucks like this were ideal for furniture or
car fires, or brush fires. This rig was used by the
town of Lookout Mountain, Tennessee. Later it
was sold to the fire department of Opa Locka, Florida,
and it went eventually to the Hialeah, Florida Fire
Museum.
- Mr.
Getz purchased it at auction. It was restored by
Don Hale in 1984.
